15-17 inch Bare minimum would be 8 inches wide. Thats all I can give you. Make your own decision youll feel better. We can only give you size and offset suggestions.

I personally think 17s are nice because there big..but not to big cuz u can still have a good amount of tire. And yes the 8 inch rule is a good one to follow

^^^Good Question. If not, do you PLAN to be lowered with coilovers or springs, and do you PLAN to get 5 lug?

yeah i was wondering too... currently i have tein s-tech springs... and still have 4 luggers. If i got a 17x8 rim, what would be a good front/rear offset...

Btw, i dont wanna sound like a noob, but i know that there are a lot more options for rims and brakes with 5 lugz, but is there any other advantage...?

well with a 5 lug not only there are more rims to choose from, but also there are more options of wider wheels. Wider wheels and lower offset. Wider wheels have better contact with the road.

well i already knew about that. I was just womdering if there was any difference in the hub itself... i guess it doesnt do anything unless you need bigger rims and tires.

I always thought...more contact points on the wheel=more security. Could just be 2 cents.
